Basketball is a beautiful sport and sometimes we experience life that makes basketball seem less than ideal. I want to guide you on my personal understanding on how to overcome different obstacles On and Off the Court. Whether you're an athlete, coach or parent, we all can grow to understand ourselves better to be a part of the game better. Welcome to GymRat J.
This episode is a throwback for me as I talk with Joseph Jenkenz, a former teammate of mine as well as a current JUCO athlete. He goes through his story of learning to play basketball as well as adjusting to trials and how set backs can be a learning process if you involve God.
